• Interact with guests to gather feedback and elevate the bar experience
• Empower staff to deliver anticipatory and personalized service
• Monitor guest satisfaction metrics and implement service enhancements
• Support other F&B outlets when needed to strengthen overall operations
• Participate in departmental orientation, training, and performance management

We are looking for a visionary leader; someone who brings creativity, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of luxury bar culture.

You should have:

• A strong background in developing unique bar concepts and beverage programs

• Proven leadership in high-end hospitality environments
